Mamalarky Returns with New Song “Nothing Lasts Forever”
American indie rock band Mamalarky, consisting of Livvy Bennett (vocals/guitar), Dylan Hill (drums), Michael Hunter (keyboard) and Noor Khan (bass), returned with a new song “Nothing Lasts Forever” on October 22, 2024.
The song is their first music since in two years since the 2022 album “Pocket Fantasy”.
Also, it is the first release under their new label Epitaph Records.
The track was written and produced by Livvy Bennett and Michael Hunter.
The band lead singer Livvy Bennett said of the song, "We were in the dead of the summer experiencing another climate-crisis heatwave in LA with no AC. This song kind of sizzled out as our brain cells were struggling to fire. Everyone started dancing. We were supposed to be writing songs for someone else but we liked this one too much so we never sent it in. We wanted to write about how it feels to not entirely know where you stand with someone. To think that you can see the future but ultimately surrender to uncertainty. The lyrics are obviously a little contradiction. Maybe not knowing is part of the fun?"- The accompanying music video was directed by Spencer Ford, who filmed in Los Angeles.
Livvy Bennett said, “The music video got shot in a trashed office complex by LAX. My friends drove out for the occasion, g’bless <3. I’m really not a dancer, I actually almost failed out of dance class in highschool because I was perpetually high and untalented and my teachers hated me. Anyway doing this weird liminal space dance competition felt redemptive and terrifying. I still can’t believe I won.” -
